T5 lighting question
I am thinking of replacing my old PC fixture with a T5 fixture. I have a 29
gallon which I am planning to have as a soft coral/mushroom/zoanthid type tank. Currently I have 110W of PC and am looking at a 96W T5 fixture. Would this be a good fit? Thanks, Mark

T5 lighting question
Mark,
When you say 96W, I assume you mean 4 pieces of 2' 24W HO-T5s. This would be great for your softy tank without generating too much heat, or using too much power if you're driving them from an e-ballast such as the Icecap. You can maximise the output by using a good casing fitted with individual parabolic reflectors for each of the 4 tuibes. "Mark Cooper" wrote in message .. .
